Proactively manage electronic component risk

From new product development to production, your product teams and supply chain partners need to make informed component selection decisions. Arena is the only solution that connects your design with supply chain information for each electronic component, so you can make proactive, data-driven decisions based on shifting supply chain conditions.

Arena Supply Chain Intelligence (SCI) provides your product teams with actionable insights to make proactive decisions earlier in the product development process. It monitors the health of your bill of materials (BOM) and provides alternatives that mitigate component-related risk throughout the product lifecycle. Arena SCI automatically updates and maintains compliance status when regulatory requirements change to ensure you’re always using compliant electronic components.

How to thrive in turbulent times

The strain on supply chains has never been greater. Manufacturers today are up against natural disasters, geopolitical instability, labor shortages, and shifting regulatory frameworks. Yet, supply chain disruption is only part of the story. Many product companies today also struggle with inefficiencies caused by outdated tools and fragmented systems. In a time of remote and hybrid work environments and ever-evolving market conditions, these disconnected tools make it difficult for product teams and supply chain partners to stay agile and on the same page.

This lack of collaboration and alignment can lead to product shipment delays, quality issues, rising customer complaints, shrinking margins, and other costly consequences that prevent companies from remaining competitive in today’s global economy. Proactive risk mitigation is needed now more than ever. This E-book explores how the adoption of enterprise cloud solutions, like Cloud PLM, enable product manufacturers to get ahead of unforeseen events and quickly adapt to change, as well as strategies for managing supply chain risk.
